Our Greensponsibilities

Restrooms

In an effort to become more sustainable, our restrooms have undergone renovations which include:

• Water-less urinals (men’s restrooms)
• Hand dryers in place of paper towels
• Greenseal toilet paper
• Low-flow toilets
• Automatic flush
• Low-flow faucets
• Automatic on/off faucets
• Lights on timers
• Only Greenseal chemicals used to clean and disinfect

We Use 100% Green Power.

Any organization’s purchased electricity use can be a significant source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This is why Evelyn Hill joined the "EPA Green Power Partnership" and has reduced our environmental impact while also providing these valuable benefits to our operations on the islands:

•Avoid carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
•Reduce some types of air pollution
•Hedge against future electricity price increases
•Serve as a brand differentiate
•Generate customer, investor, or stakeholder loyalty and employee pride
•Create positive publicity and enhance your organization’s public image
•Demonstrate civic leadership
